Effigy - Intellectual

Here we've come to see you burn, in this pile of stone

Light the sky, the ritual complete again

Embers rise beneath our feet, with vengeful eyes we see

One more day high above your effigy

I've been away for a long long time

Up in the clouds there's a place of mine

From mechanical chairs I watch the show

The spinning of gears keeping time below

Moving around in sunrise red

The things that I've found shouldn't be here yet

Feeling alive in a higher place

Confidence burns at a record pace

Breathing in the power, I remember when

I was bleeding out, losing hope within

[Oh great spirit of the woods] Then the leshy found me

[Change my shape I knew you would] In the woods that night

[Oh great spirit of the woods] Lending power upon me

[Make me king I know you could] Soon I took to flight

To the iron skyline, far beyond my dreams

I controlled the new world, invincible me

High in my chair

I hear them yearn down there

Watching the gears turn

Then I ran into the sun...

Ran right into the sun...

Running into the sun, running into the sun, running into the sun...

In that moment I knew it was over, and I realized

How I would be eulogized...

You were the one, the one who would fade the light

You were the one, who only lived here for himself

You were the one, who counted our tears for fun

You were the one, playing the game all by yourself

Is this a dream, move me away from here

Make me whole again, take me away from here

This is a dream now, you thought I couldn't fly again, but you're wrong

Back in my throne again, it's a new day for me

Feeling alive in a higher place, confidence burns at a record pace

Shooting at mountains with finger guns

Stopped in my tracks when I hit the sun

Right into the sun

Ran right into the sun

Pale light comes in like water

Through cracks in the darkness forming lines across the land

A legend falls around us with a thousand lies

If you listen close you'll hear him crying in the sky

We listen to this great sky

Echoes fall like rain

I thought that I was the only one, in this sky

Nothing around me, not even the sun

The moon had abandoned me for awhile

Once caught a glimpse of that famous smile

Don't you know it's the same sky it's always been

Wouldn't you know you learned that lesson running into the sun
